Two and a half years ago, Wes Chapman competed in his first snocross competition.

Chapman had just started riding snowmobiles and the machine he was racing on wasn’t his own.

However, it didn’t stop Chapman from winning all three qualifying races and the main event in his first four races.

“I had been riding four-wheelers with the Stoffles for awhile and they thought I’d be good at snocross,” said Chapman, a Moffat County High School senior. “I swept my first weekend and I knew I could be good at the sport, so I went out and bought my own machine.”
